So many false prophets

I was recommended this video by my YouTube algorithms: From New Age Witchcraft to JESUS (Testimony). It got me rather glued to it even though I was not feeling well: body ache, headache, and chills.  

Jessica grew up Catholic. She was sexually abused at the age of seven, suppressed that memory, and sexually abused other female peers, in the form of a game. When she was 15, she got involved in a relationship that became more abusive. As the same time she got involved in drugs, drinking, partying, etc. When she was about 18, she nearly died from a suicide attempt and was admitted to a hospital where she met a woman who was into new-age stuff. One thing led to another and she became a light witch. However, she was still doing the drugs, drinking, partying and got raped one night (14:45). That was when I had to pause the video and broke down. 

In her new-age thing, Jesus was supposedly an "ascended master" and "spirit guide", so she called on Jesus to heal her and teach her. And Jesus said to her, "Follow me." That gave me more chills, especially in the way she described the voice. Then she found herself led to Nova Hub. I thought that sounded like a plastic surgery company but apparently, it is one of those Pentecostal Churches. I gave up watching the rest of the video and skimmed through it but found nothing noteworthy. 

I Googled Nova Hub, it is a branch of Impact Revival Hub whose founders are Ryan and Joy LeStrange. In the photo, the latter had a full face of makeup with possible cheek and lip fillers *cringe*. Ryan LeStrange claims to be an apostle *yawn* among his other self-accreditations. In the last ten years or more, he has authored and co-authored at least 30 books. So I Googled any controversy around him and he was accused of being a false prophet by an Anthony Wade, a pastor with the Assemblies of God (AOG) which sounded rather familiar. Yeah, they have been around since 1914. 

I went to check what the Catholic Church had to say about AOG. LOL! It's like they don't even care. Just some facts and figures. I get it though. If you are a Catholic, you would know these churches aren't even close to the real thing. I commented on the original video of Jessica's testimony and pray that she would return to the only church Jesus founded himself. 

Ok, rant over.

10 Principles for An Everyday Diet

Another programme I caught recently is The A-List Diet with Celebrity Food Doctor , Ian Marber, on Discovery Home & Health. The two episodes I caught were both women. After 10 weeks, the first one lost a stone or 6.35kg, and went from 44% to 43% body fat. The other who was just 21 years old, lost 5kg and went from 39% to 37% body fat. They were most happy when out shopping and realised they had lost a dress size or two :) The A-List Diet consists of 2 parts. The first is a 7-Day Detox that will also help to shrink the size of your stomach: "it consists of a lot of soups, and does away with simple carbs , stimulants (caffeine and alcohol) and saturated fats . Afterwhich, if you can survive without tea and/or coffee, you follow the 10 Principles : Eat protein along with complex carbs. Stay hydrated by drinking 6 – 8 glasses of water.

6 Simplicity Tips

I recently posted a couple of comments on Facebook that surprisingly gathered a lot of likes. Since it was a closed group, I thought I would share them here. The OP was: " Please share a simplicity tip that you wish everyone knew because it has helped you a lot. " Use your gadgets until they spoil or become obsolete.  Eat well with everything in moderation, at the table, and take your time, so you'll know when you are full and should stop eating.  Put in effort to know your loved ones and spend more time with them, especially the older folk, you'll miss them when they're gone.  Read a book, and keep reading it if you like it, otherwise move on; there are too many books to read in one lifetime.  Pray, even if you don't think God's listening or believe in Him. Don't dress to impress others; dress to feel good about yourself as you go about your day, because your smile is always your best accessory.
